My ESC, dbc, and ABS warning lights all illuminated at the same time this morning. There are many complaints of this happening on numerous hyundai forms. Folks have been told to replace hubs, sensors and assorted other pieces. Most do not work costing hundreds of dollars. My particular vehicle had the lights come on maybe 6 or 8 months ago. Go off and come on again and off again. I've ignored them not noticing any driving impact. But the car is warning me that it isn't safe to drive the car. This is not a one of or two or three issue. This from another owner;all three light illuminated on my 2011 santa fe so I changed my front right ABS speed sensor which was the cause of the lights, but the dash lights are still illuminated. Took it to the dealer and they said there is a short in the ABS system wiring harness. What's the cost to fix? $4500.00 really! I think a recall is due for this problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai santa fe. While driving, the transmission downshifted into a lower gear on its own and the vehicle stopped. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and stated that it was still under the 100,000 mile warranty and referred the contact to the dealer. Pohanka hyundai (1770 ritchie station court, capitol heights, md 20743, (240) 788-4240) determined the cause of the failure was not the transmission. The dealer initially found codes related to the ABS speed sensor and stated that there appeared to be an electrical failure with the electronic stability control. The dealer further stated that the ABS modular was activating on its own, which caused the failure. The repairs would cost $2,900 and the dealer stated that it was not covered under the warranty; however, they offered to cover a part of the labor costs. The dealer had the vehicle for over a month and test drove the vehicle. The dealer stated that the failure recurred after all the repairs and concluded that the transmission may be the cause of the failure. The dealer stated that the original warranty would not cover the repairs because the contact's mother passed away; therefore, the original power train warranty was voided. The manufacturer called the dealer and offered to contribute $630 towards the repair. The failure mileage was 79,000.

Started car, noticed the following dash lights were on: ABS ESC downhill braking checked online and found that hyundai recalled 1.7 million vehicles for this problem (defective brake lamp switch) up to 2011. I'm concerned that my 2012 car has the same issue, even though my VIN is not included in the recall. These lights stay on no matter if moving or stationary.
